One of the best interviews Ive ever seen. Even if it lasted for 5 hours, still be watchin it in one breath

So much respect for Dana White. I ran into him at one of the Megaclubs in Las Vegas maybe 9 or 10 years ago when the UFC had already found massive success. Told him how I am a local DJ but have been a diehard fan since that first season of Ultimate Fighter. He let me come to his VIP table and pour a drink from his bottle and we chatted for a few minutes. He thanked me as a fan and then I realized that his security was going to do their jobs and tell me to keep it pushin'. So I read the room and moved along before it got awkward. Either way that is way more than I would expect from any public figure or celebrity in that situation. Dude keeps receipts whether that is supporting their vision with the UFC or working against him. I'm grateful for his hard work and so many amazing memories of great fights.

Can we all just take a mo to appreciate big boys interview style? Hes fast, funny and always maintains focus on the interviewee. honestly one of the best interviewers around rn.

Incredible how comfortable you made him feel to open up like that. Great, yet humble display of empathy and honest friendship. Thank you, I've learned a lot.

Dana's story is unbelievable and no matter how you feel about him....our favorite sport looks very different without him.

Big Boy is such a masterful interviewer. He asks great questions at the perfect time and then sits back and let’s his guest be free and answer with such amazing detail because they are comfortable. This is great!

DANA is a Legend. There is no UFC without Dana. Loyal friend right there and just a real due. Big Boy the part you mentioned you text him during the big fights and how he responds was cool lol.

One of the best interviews with Dana I’ve seen. Great job

This one of the best Dana interviews I've seen

Uncle Dana is simply the best in this business........legend of a man!

hearing the in-depth story of his success is beyond amazing. There’s nothing that compares to the feeling you get when the timing and stars align in your favor.

Could you imagine how America would be today if Dana was the president instead of Biden ?

“Same thing I did as power slap.. big boy: HOW DO YOU TRAIN FOR THAT SHIT ?!” 😂😂😂😂😂

Dana has accomplished a lot! Glad he got his health back on track!

Man, I've been a fan of big boy for years now. He's a legend, I stopped following him for awhile now but this interview brought me back. All I do is work, train at a Muay Thai gym, and bet on boxing, MMA, and foot ball. I hope he interviews a few UFC fighters. He needs to get Sean Strikland on his channel since he just whooped on izzy

Dana is a 1 of 1 and one the most genuine people on the planet.

I knew about how him and the Fertita brothers bought the UFC and how they built it up to where it was huge and they sold it for over 2 BILLION dollars!! But this is a fantastic interview!! What a crazy story!

37:20 Goosebumps. What a great and real speech, especially in the position that he was in. "What should I say??" Say why are you here and why you're giving a speech for him.

Great interview. You made Dana seem human with your educated questions. Dana was great, but your interaction with him made this an actual exercise of the history of the UFC. Well done, sir. Insightful questions, allowing Dana to fully speak, and simply interjecting to move along or focus the interview are all things proper journalists should endeavor to do.

Swear to God I could listen to Dana talk all day. Love this mf. What a God damn animal and also a hell of a genuine dude. Met him in Houston and watched him walk from inside a bar and take pictures and shake hands with over 100 people waiting in line. Mad respect for this dude.

Crazy this only has 16k views in 2 days. This interview is top notch.

Best BigBoy interview yet. Cant wait for more off air interviews

The interview is gold. Would be even better if the interviewer would stop interrupting.

I have been a fan since TUF days on Spike, watching these gives me goosebumps!

Super good interview . I’ve heard Dana’s story multiple times but not in depth like this. You asked all the right questions that I was thinking to myself while watching

What he didn't say was one of the fertitta was on the nevada athletic commission that turned down approving mma as a sport in Nevada when the original owner had but it got approved once they bought it

Just discovered this interview late in the evening, watched it at one go till the end...so motivational ..

Not too many interviews this long that I can sit through, but this one I am just riveted. I'll probably listen to it a couple more times. It's not only a great motivational story but Dana tells it well.

This is one of the greatest interviews i have ever seen , if anyone wanted to know anything about how hard work , commitment and building on opportunities leads to success this is it ..! macro economics 101 for all ...! Kudos to Dana White ..!!!

Loyalty is everything

Incredible dynamic between Dana and Kurt. You could see these two being friends. Really enjoyed this.

"step over dollars to pickup dimes" 😂

Amazing interview, Dana is so relaxed here. Great job!

The “may god have mercy on my enemies… because I Won’t” tag beside the door is a great reminder of the old saying. “fuck em” 😂 🔥

First time watching your channel. Excellent job, really enjoyed this interview, so well done 👍 👍

Half way through , had to pause to comment what a fantastic interview hats off 👏 👏 Dana is so comfortable so interesting thank you !

Listening to this just made my whole being just want to conquer the world, whatever that means. Thank you Dana and thank you big boy for this interview. It made my day. ( Mental health is real and it's been kicking my ass)

5 AM, I clicked the link. I've been glued to the screen ever since. 😁 Great interview 👍👌

This may have been one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Completely changed my view of Dana I already knew I liked him but getting to know him closer I love him

Excellent interview 👏 👏👏👏

Fantastic interview. Highly impressed with Dana’s drive and energy you can see how the UFC and him have become so successful.

That's perfect story for a movie about UFC .

I remember being hooked on that 1st season of The Ultimate Fighter, I was in High School at the time working my 1st job, coming home relaxing and watching some ultimate fighter. Been watching the UFC ever since.

Dana is one of the coolest mofos around, hands down, down to earth, ruff edges in all the right places, and an inspiration for anyone at the bottom, wanting to go to the top in life, legend.

okay now do Joe ROgan

Love that you two have a genuine respect and friendship

I heard Timbo (Tim Welch) mention how whenever they are around Dana White it's like his energy is always incredible and you can see how he is here. Would be awesome to be around and learn from.

WE NEED A Dana White x UFC BIOPIC!!!

Great interview, love combat sports... but I don't get powerslap... how is it not just signing up to get a concussion? In other combat sports, your skills can save you from a concussion, but in power slap it seems guaranteed

Man, this made want to do more and really work on things that I have visions on. Will look back at this years from now. Cheers!

Is there a part 2? Ended abruptly.

Great interview! I've met both of you guys several times and your always a class act!

🔥🔥🔥 This interview was straight FIRE! Dana's story is incredible man. It's hard not to respect him. Despite what your personal opinion is about him.

Love Dana. Been a fan of ufc since day one. Feel old because I can't keep up with all the new fighters. The sport has changed so much. Still love it.

Wow. Hes a great interviewer. And when Dana is talking to people he loves and respects, it shows the best side of him.

I never really liked Tito back in the day, but he helped save the UFC. Crazy how Dana talks about Loyalty

Dana is one of the realest on the planet. Great show man 👏🏽

Great interview. Dana is proof. Hard work will get you places. Knowing millionaires helps too 😂

Big Boy - one of the best to ever do it! Awesome interview.

I did not expect from the thumbnail! this was great! learnt so much about life hacks! thanks BIG BOIIIIIIIIIII

Fair play what a amazing interview....Dana plz plz plz put out a autobiography....your a legend and you enriched the lives of so many fans by fighting for the sport the world now loves ❤️

1 of my fav interviews

So many moments in this interview gave me goosebumps! Fantastic story!

Dana's one smart dude.

Big Boy definitely has one of the best interview style and technique out there. Another really interesting episode.

had the exact same experience with doctors. was hospitalized and they were getting mad at me for doing some start jumps. wouldnt let me out of the bed for more than 10 minutes a day. my leg muscles started to atrophy and i could barley walk. checked myself out and never listened to a doctor again.

Need to do more of these types of interviews biG🎉. Adapt my g 🎉🎉🎉

Dana White is the Epitome of the American Dream. That you can start from nothing, have a Millionaire Friend buy you a million dollar business and turn it into a Multi Billion Dollar Franchise and New International Mega Sport. Anyone can do that! ?

Great fucken interview Big Boy I swear this is one of my favorite interview ever in UKposts history no bullshit I love this show keep it going BIG BOY

That Tyson fight was on Showtime. Jim Lampley is a legend. He has the greatest calls in boxing history.

dude this was a solid interview love it

Big Up, Sir Big Boy!

Great interview 💪🏼

Great interview Big!

Excellent interview. Subscribed. Glad I found your channel, Big Boy. Quality stuff.

Love Dana, he is just a real dude and I'm happy for all his success and Big-Boy is just fucking awsome, hope I can meet both guys one day.

How did randy try to screw over the ufc ? Because he wanted to keep his personal rights

Classic ending of the interview 😂😂😂😂

Outstanding interview. Awesome work.

I’m not proud of my fellow fan base but I’m definitely proud of what Dana has accomplished

Dana white is something else....

Man, one of the greatest interviews I've seen!!! N I dnt really watch long videos!!

Dana that Tyson entrance was coming off of a long layoff from his suspension from the ear biting incident versus Holyfield. And to be clear the commentator was quoting the boxing pundits. Steve Albert didn't sugar coat anything. After Mike's 5th round knockout, the commentators gave Tyson his credit. The difference between boxing and ufc is interviewers like Jim Gray, Larry Merchant don't come off like fan boys like Joe Rogan...Keep it 100 Dana.

TRUMP 2024. LET'S GO BRANDON!

This is huge for the Big Boy brand dude! straight up good interview.

great interview Big and Dana...just great

Loyalty is soemthing that cant be taught. it is also the greatest attribute a business man can have.

Dana's story never gets old!

Great interview.

Hands down one of the best Dana White interviews I’ve ever seen from any YT channel. BigBoyTV you guys nailed it!! 👊🔥🔥🔥

I never knew big boy used to weigh that much. Congrats

This is the best Dana White interview I think. Big Boy asked the right questions at a perfect pace to get them all answered which such detail. The excitement and passion in Dana white as he's telling his come up story is credited to Big Boys real admiration for him and genuine real interest in his life and sport and I can tell Dana White respects and appreciates him and considers him a friend by the way he opened up in this interview. The fact that power slaps ratings did better than the NHL and NBA when airing at the same time is nuts. I think I might look into seeing what it takes to go pro cause it seems like these guys will make millions per competition very soon when this becomes a major sport. I have some experience, I've been getting slapped through my whole marriage I just need to work on my slapping skills when I start training cause its been a while but defensively im pretty good.

Someone needs to make a movie about the UFC.

👏 This was a Great Interview Big Boi & Dana 👍💯

Excellent Interview!! 👏

Amazing interview 2nd time watching this. Could watch this again and again.

Yo, I love this interview!

Amazing amazing story I can listen to big boy interview anyone very professional funny without getting off topic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Quality interview!! 👌👌
